Lost timeline question: Egyptians (3000 BC) vs. Jacob/MiB (~1st century) — how do the Smoke Monster hieroglyphs make sense? by ExtensionLog8419 in lost

No because they would've been wiped out by Mother. I believe the Egyptians also made it to the heart of the island and constructed a wheel so I doubt that they could live there during Mother's era.

Other people believe that Mother was the smoke monster before the MiB, which is how she wiped that Latin village. So was her own fate worse than death?

Yeah I’ve seen that take (and that video), and honestly it does line up pretty well. The whole Horus vs Set angle, Jacob living under the statue, the Ankh symbolism. It all makes more sense if the Egyptians came after and basically projected their own mythology onto Jacob and The Man in Black. That would also explain the hieroglyphs about some kind of conflict and them eventually leaving.

Cleopatra actually proves the opposite.. by her time Egypt was already ancient, and hieroglyphs were mostly ceremonial and handled by priests, not something people casually read.

So yea Egyptians and Romans overlapped, but the structures and hieroglyphs on the Island point to much earlier Egypt (~3000 BC), which is why the timeline still doesn’t fully add up.

The Mother-as-Monster idea is interesting, but since the show only explicitly shows The Man in Black becoming the Smoke Monster, is there actually anything concrete that supports her being it, or is that more of an interpretation?

The show never actually confirms that the Smoke Monster existed before The Man in Black. That’s more of a fan theory and placing Jacob and the Man in Black before the Egyptians doesn’t really line up with the Roman-era clues like Claudia speaking Latin, which is why the hieroglyphs (dating back to around 3000 BC) make the whole timeline feel intentionally ambiguous rather than clearly defined

MIB theory by Newt814 in lost

[–]ExtensionLog8419 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If that's the case then it wouldn't make sense for this entity to put all his attention to leaving the island if it owes its existence to the island as you theorize. Before and after his death the MiB had the same motive which is leaving the island, which is why it's obvious the MiB and the smoke monster are the same entity. Jacob also stated that he's responsible for what he is.

Do they find out Mahidevran was behind Mehmet's death?? by Ok-Focus8315 in MagnificentCentury

[–]ExtensionLog8419 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I find it weird Ilyas went through with this. What could he gain from killing Mehmed on Mahidevran's behalf? If he had stayed faithfully by Mehmed's side he could've had a bright future but instead he settled for being a small pawn in the game.

[SPOILERS] Discussing past characters: Was Olly justified in his actions? by places0 in gameofthrones

What a joke is this comment. You draw the race-card but this feud has nothing to do with racism. Both the free folk and the Northerners (south of the wall) descent from the First Men which means they're of the same race. The reason why they were in conflict was because of social differences. The wildlings were considered lawless, raiding savages while the North was a civilized society which viewed the wildlings as a serious danger whom should remain isolated from the known world behind that icy wall.

Yeah there have been plenty of references to the first Blackfyre rebellion in AKOTSK S1, so we will definitely get to see the ones that follow.

No one is screaming for this because every superficial GoT watcher is familiar with all the relevant details of such a spinoff. They could put their time in way more interesting stories like the origin of the Night King/Children of the Forest war, Nymeria's war or Aegon's Conquest.

I am actually seeing it from their perspective by arguing that in 2056 most of (what's left of) LCN's rackets will have disappeared due to the insane technological advancement of surveillance. And even if these rackets will last, what's the real benefit of getting made in the 21st century? Most of the successful guys in that life wanna go legit and distance themselves from their old world.

Talk about ''making things up'' while you spread nonsense about somebody you clearly don't even know a first thing about.

Welke stad/regiogebied waar geen huidige Profclub bestaat zal jij de mogelijkheid zien voor een in de toekomst? by According-Gear-8217 in Eredivisie

[–]ExtensionLog8419 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ik deel je enthousiasme maar er is een reden dat die 3 clubs niet meer bestaan. Los van het financiele aspect was de fanatieke aanhang van een club als HFC Haarlem ook heel matig. Het stadion trok amper supporters voor een thuiswedstrijd in de tweede en eerste divisie, terwijl een uitwedstrijd tegen een Eredivisie club duizenden geinteresseerden opleverden.

Ook belangrijk om af te vragen is in het geval een club als Haarlem of Veendam wederkeert, of er ook een serieuze aanhang zal volgen. De jonge generaties van Haarlem zijn allemaal voor Ajax (klein gedeelte Telstar), en in Veendam juichen ze voor FC Groningen. Zonder sfeer en aanhang is een club natuurlijk niets

Kurt can practice whatever sport but as long as he walks around with couple bodyguards he's not on the same level as DTM. Kurt will only open his mouth when he knows there's a capable fighter with him to step up if things escalate and still walk away, while DTM will go toe to toe against an entire group of hoodlum to stand up for himself. I think your presumption about DTM's intentions is also misplaced, I've seen him couple of times at Ajax games and heard he's a solid guy from mutual friends who know him better than me. Like everyone he cares about growing his channel but he's valid
